I was searching an alternative of Notepad++ on linux and I stumbled upon this to log into the remote server and edit remote files:

If you have ever tried to unleash the power of Bundled "Gedit" application on Ubuntu, then you would never want to download anymore external stuff to use the features similar to that of Notepad++ .

In this post, I am going to illustrate only one important feature of Gedit that I found really helpful in logging on to remote server and automatically FTP the changes to reflect on the server.

Open the home folder in ubuntu, then click File->Connect to server. Fill in the details and login. Then you need to open Gedit. Click View->Side Panel.

Now you get to see the side panel having documents. Click on the server that you have logged in and you are good to go. Browse the file you want to edit and get going.
